by Eniola Arowosegbe/February 25 10:41 AMLast updated on Opi Lake Complex, usually called Opi Lake System, is a fusion of seven lakes located in the community of Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria. These seven lakes are all interconnected and linkup into a channel of water bodies. The lake complex comprises of Ozzi, Ogelube, Uhere, Orufu, Ikpa Eze-agu iyi and Nkpo. Ozzi lake is
located at Ugwu-ozioko and is about 9m deep and 7km wide, therefore making it
possible for a canoe to move from one end to another. Eze-agu iyi and Ogelube
lakes are in close proximity with a separated distance of about 50m. Uhere
River flows in between Eze-agu iyi and Ogelube lakes providing a sand beach,
crocodiles and other aquatic species. Don?t you wish to see the complexity of
this? Ikpa Lake is located south of Eze-agu iyi and Ogelube lakes. It covers about
two kilometers beset by a thick forest. This lake is unique for its religious
implication, as it is a place for traditional worshippers. Orufu and Nkpo are located towards the east of Ikpa Lake. These special and well connected lakes make sense for why it is called ?Opi Lake System?. Visits can be made to the surrounding villages of the lakes so that tourists can know their culture and customs. There is also a waterfall called ?Uhere? situated at Ogbozalla Opi. This waterfall has the potential of announcing the death of someone who is likely to be a prominent member of the community through thunderous and frightening sound as the water falls.
